The rims will emulate a blue circle, which is the International Diabetes Federation's global symbol for diabetes, to support Kimball's quest to educate people about diabetes.

"If our team can help others understand that even with diabetes, you can live life to the fullest, then we are glad to help," said team owner Chip Ganassi. "Charlie is an emerging talent in the race car, and he is an even better human being. A program like this speaks volumes about him."

Now in his third season with Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing, Kimball was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during a routine physician's visit in 2007 while racing in Europe.

"I am able to live my dream and compete in the IZOD IndyCar Series because I have been fortunate to have the support of Novo Nordisk and my teammates, who are extensions of my on-track pit crew," said Kimball.
